While the number of cloud solutions is continuously increasing, the development and
operation of large-scale and distributed cloud applications are still challenging. A major …

With the increasing computing and networking capabilities, IoT devices and edge gateways
have become part of a larger IoT–edge–cloud computing continuum, where processing and …

This position paper briefly discusses nudging, its use by autonomous agents, potential risks
and ethical considerations while creating such systems. Instead of taking a normative …

We use real options theory to evaluate the options of diversity in design by looking at the
trade-offs between the cost and long-term value of different architectural strategies under …

Homogeneous networked systems are at high risk of being compromised by malicious
attacks that exploit a single weakness common to all. Following the survivability through …

Socio-technical MAS are an intrinsic part of our daily lives. Domains like energy, transport,
etc. are increasingly using technology to allow individual users to adapt to, and even …

A key problem in agent-based simulation is that integrating qualitative insights from multiple
discipline experts is extremely hard. In most simulations, agent capabilities and …

This paper demonstrates a disconnected ABM architecture that enables domain experts,
and non-programmers to add qualitative insights into the ABM model without the …

This paper starts with hypothesis (and presents some evidence) that anxiety in migrants is
sufficiently important to be modelled. It presents a small (and very incomplete) review of …

Ethics is sometimes considered to be too abstract to be meaningfully implemented in
artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we reflect on other aspects of computing that were …
